Chapel Renovation
Spiritual Care
In 2008, size constrictions of the Country Manor Chapel became a concern. Driven by the vision of dedicated individuals, the Country Manor Foundation began fundraising efforts to build a new Chapel that could house its growing congregation.
From a modest gathering space in the Care Center to a hallmark of the Country Manor campus, the Chapel has grown in size and service.
Today, the Country Manor Chapel often sees crowds of 400 parishioners, enabling guests and their loved ones the ability to worship together. The 7,000 square foot space is also used for large events, entertainment purposes, and for staff education.
Though a permanent installation, this project is part of a fundraiser to replace the existing Chapel flooring. For more information on this campaign, click here.
Holiday Lights
Quality of Life
This fall, Country Manor residents were treated to a holiday lighting event in the Senior Apartment Duck Pond Courtyard. After enjoying a hot cider and cookie social, viewers were delighted with a New Year's Eve ball-drop style reveal of three beautiful winter displays surrounding the magnificent center tree.

Quality of Life
In keeping with the Foundation's mission to provide life-enriching opportunities and experiences to the communities we serve, the Rendever Virtual Reality Platform allows residents to travel the globe or stroll down memory lane, all without leaving the comforts of their homes.

Each headset can be programmed for individual or group experiences, fully immersing residents in a 360° view of practically anything they choose, ranging from therapeutic meditation rooms to African Safaris. The possibilities are endless!
Families can get involved as well, with personalized family portals. Users can login from any web-based device and upload their personal images and videos. Residents now have the opportunity to virtually attend weddings, graduations, and other important family milestones and events that would have previously been inaccessible.

Novice and master gardeners alike delight in digging in the soil and watching their seeds mature into delicate flowers and delicious vegetables. Tenant-tended gardens are just one of the many features that sets Country Manor Campus apart from other senior residences.
Bereavement Ministry
End-of-Life Care/Spiritual Care
Proceeds from the 2019 Hometown Classic will be used to fund the Spiritual Care Department's new Bereavement Ministry program. This program is designed to support families and friends after
the death of a loved one, and will provide the time and resources necessary to guide people through the grieving process. Grief counseling & support groups, pamphlets & educational materials, as well as personal outreach, are the cornerstones of this wonderful new ministry.
Adaptive Wheelchair Bicycle
Quality of Life
The Care Center recently purchased an adaptive wheelchair bike to give residents, tenants and patients (no matter physical ability) the opportunity to enjoy the peace, tranquility and feeling of freedom that bike riding provides.
Featuring a tilted ramp and wheelchair lock, the passenger remains safely in place while the transporter pedals without the worry of tipping. The bike also boasts an electric engine that can be optionally used for power assist during cycling.
Chapel Piano
Spiritual Care
The Chapel at Country Manor recently received a very generous donation for the purchase of a brand new Yamaha Clavinova. This premium digital piano promises our chapel-goers the experience of an acoustic grand piano.
We couldn't wait to hear it, so we invited the daughter of one of our Country Manor residents to play for us. She chose, "I've Got a Friend in Jesus." Most fitting, don't you think?
